Lintian sings:
W: kups: menu-icon-not-in-xpm-format
/usr/share/icons/locolor/32x32/apps/kupsdconf.png
Icons in the Debian menu system should be in icon format.
Refer to menu 3. for details.
So it means icons in png format are not allowed ?!
BTW, where's "menu 3" (in the Debian Policy Manual or in the Debian Menu
sub-policy) with information about an icon format.
